A Turkish cezve

A cezve is a Turkish coffee pot designed specifically to make Turkish coffee. In Greece, the device is called a briki (μπρίκι). The Greek name is more commonly used in English speaking countries such as the United States and Australia due to their large Greek immigrant populations. The long handle is particularly useful to avoid burning one's hands, and the brim is designed to serve the coffee. Other regional variations of cezve are: jezve (pronounced: yez-vuh, ĉezve (pronounced: chehz-vuh). This word is also used in Russian d(zh)ezva, along with turka. Elsewhere, the cezve is known as an ibrik, which is also the most common usage in the United States. Ibrik is Turkish word from Arabic `ibriq in turn a rendition of Persian a:bri:z - a:b water, ri:z (older rêz) a cup.[1] In Turkey, 'ibrik' has another meaning, it is again used for long spouts but used for handling liquids like oil and wine, not for brewing coffee. The same usage is common in Romania. Image File history File linksMetadata Cezve. ... Image File history File linksMetadata Cezve. ...
